We went to our annual eye appointment on Saturday, and it went a little like this..
Dr {as he is examining my right, more unfortunate eye}: Hmm.. {pause} Hmm..
Me: {still just waiting for him to actually say something}
Dr: Has anyone ever told you why your eye is so misshaped?
Me: Well.. no..??
Dr: Hmm.. do you know if they used forceps on you when you were delivered?
Me: haha.. {oh, you're serious}.... um.. not that I know of??
Dr: Well, that would make sense, when an eye is this misshaped, it typically occurs in delivery, and more commonly when forceps are used.
Me: {lovely}
Dr: Oh, but it's nothing to worry about. It isn't a physical defect or anything, you can only see the Birth Defect under a scope.
Me: {Now it's a birth defect? Yeah, that sounds like no big deal at all}
{the eye examination continues for the next 5 min.}
Dr: All right, well I'm going to need to go ahead and special order your contacts {for my one eye only of course, since that is totally normal} since we don't have anything like this in stock. I'm not 100% sure they will fit properly, so you may need to come in for another examination if they irritate your eye.
Me {with no enthusiasm in my voice}: greeeaatttt, thanks.
Of course my mom can't remember if forceps were used or not, but did recall that she did get her wisdom teeth out while I was in the womb. Neat.
